Tap the chatter

Vidya Krishnamurti Teacher
At the outset I wish to congratulate the authorities as this time there are less noisy crackers. Both my children had stopped bursting crackers a long time ago, as they were sensitised about the pollution caused by the event. It is a request to all the parents to tell their children to not burst crackers for the sake of environment.

Me and several others in my coterie stopped bursting crackers five years ago and this year we are going to follow the suit. The money spent on crackers is diverted to those kids who struggle to have food throughout the day.

I have stopped bursting crackers during Diwali since many years ago. However, I feel our political parties should be heavily penalised if any one bursts crackers after winning an election. There should not be two sets of rules in this matter.

It took us some time to be sensitised about crackers, which were the most-lookedforward-to event during Diwali. Now, we understand the perils. It has been a while that some of us have renounced crackers.

Crackers are an absolute no-no and the generation today and the one that is about to come must be taught the hazards perpetuated by them. Anyways, it is a waste of money.
